I even told my doctor, primary, that I trust him with my health, he in turn needs to trust me to be a compliant patient. Remember work for you. As your insurance pays them and sometimes you have co-pay.

Most Generics are manufactured by name brand companies and are safe. I used to work in a pharmacy and found out they work as well as name brand medicine. Do not fear but have or find a doctor you can trust, because I have learned from experience & help from friends guiding me along the way.
